Alvita

• Traditionally used to help alleviate bloating and gas*
• Certified organic

How It Works:

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) was first cultivated by the ancient Romans, who used the fruits of the plant as a culinary ingredient. Fennel was also traditionally used to help alleviate bloating and gas.* The plant’s use as both a popular culinary ingredient and a digestive aid continued to grow over the centuries.*

Alvita Fennel Tea is made with premium-quality, organic fennel seeds, and has a sweet aroma and flavor reminiscent of licorice or anise.

Suggested Use:

Place one tea bag in a cup and add 6 oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Gently squeeze tea bag and remove.

We recommend 3 cups daily.

Warning:
If you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication or have any medical condition, consult a health care professional before use. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Nettle (Urtica dioica) is more commonly known as “stinging nettle” due to the fine hairs on the leaves and stems that are painful to the touch. Despite its prickly demeanor, nettle has staked its claim in herbal tradition as both a culinary and beneficial herb, with the aerial parts of the plant being traditionally used to support joint health.*

Alvita Nettle Tea is made with premium-quality organic nettle leaves, and has a refreshing, grassy flavor.

Suggested Use:

Place one tea bag in a cup and add 8 oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Gently squeeze tea bag and remove.

We recommend 3 cups daily.

The rhizome of the ginger plant, commonly referred to as ginger root (Zingiber officinale), is a staple in Asian cooking and has earned an equally impressive reputation for its traditional use to alleviate nausea associated with motion.* Descriptions of ginger’s beneficial properties appear in ancient medical texts, and herbalists have used ginger for more than 2,000 years.

Alvita Ginger Root Tea is made with premium-quality, organic ginger root, and has an invigorating, mildly spicy taste.

Suggested Use:

Place one tea bag in a cup and add 8 oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Gently squeeze tea bag and remove. (For a more concentrated tea, steep for up to 15 minutes.)

Senna (Senna alexandrina) was used for centuries before being introduced into trade in Europe in the 9th century. Named after the port in Alexandria, Egypt, senna was transported to Europe and Asia, where it became a mainstay in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese practices. Senna is one of the most commonly consumed herbs to help promote regularity and for relief of occasional constipation (not intended to be used to treat chronic constipation).*

Alvita Senna Tea is made with premium-quality organic senna leaves, and has a mild, bitter flavor.

Suggested Use:

Place one tea bag in a cup and add 8 oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 7 minutes. Gently squeeze tea bag and remove. (For a stronger tea, steep for an additional 3-4 minutes.)

Adults consume 1 cup daily, preferably at bedtime. Do not consume more than one cup daily, or for longer than one week unless directed by a doctor. Do not give to children.

Notice:
This product contains senna. Read and follow directions carefully. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain because senna may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health. Consult your physician if you have frequent diarrhea or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition.

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) blossoms have a long history of use in Europe and North America. It was listed in the United States National Formulary until 1946. Naturally occurring isoflavones in red clover make it particularly popular with women.

Alvita Red Clover Tea is made using only premium-quality organic red clover blossoms, producing a deep, amber colored tea. Its flavor is reminiscent of dried, sweet grass with a subtle floral finish.

Suggested Use:

Place one tea bag in a cup and add 8 oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 12 minutes. Gently squeeze tea bag and remove.

We recommend 3 cups daily.

The yellow, daisy-like flowers of chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) have been traditionally used and enjoyed since ancient Roman times as a soothing, relaxing tea as well as to help support normal digestion.* Today, chamomile remains one of the most popular herbal teas available.

Alvita Chamomile Tea is made with premium-quality, organic chamomile flowers, and has a pleasantly mild flavor and aroma.

Suggested Use:

Place one tea bag in a cup and add 6 oz of boiling water. Cover and steep for 6 minutes. Gently squeeze tea bag and remove. (For a more concentrated tea, steep up to 10 minutes.)

We recommend 4 cups daily, preferably between meals.
